Should a company that sells an operating system also sell a product that protects against viruses taking advantage of flaws in that operating system? I guess it depends on your views of what the seller owes you in the first place and whether the user’s own mistakes are responsible for the difficulties that user experiences. Microsoft has announced an antivirus product. If one considers an antivirus product to be necessary to run a Windows machine, I suppose $50 a year is reasonable and in line with what you would pay for a Norton product.
